Jenna W. Sent on 03/19/2020One of a Kind, More Than Just a Venue!
Searching for a venue for one of the biggest days of your life is hard, it is a big decision. Let me tell you though - choosing the barns for our wedding was absolutely the best decision we could have made. The venue itself is beautiful, extremely well kept, and has options for both indoor and outdoor ceremony so you have zero stress the day of your wedding. On top of that, the staff is truly incredible. Kylie, the event manager/coordinator, was literally my saving grace. She helped me from the very start to the very end, without her I am not even sure I could have planned my wedding. She walks you through every step of the way! She is so organized, always on top of her game, efficient, responsive, thorough, and one of the nicest people I have met. She truly cares about you and making sure your vision is brought to life. Everything that a bride could want or need for her wedding. We got to work with the rest of the staff the weekend of our wedding and they all had no issue living up to the high bar Kylie set. We are so so thankful for this place and these people, we will cherish our day forever because of them!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Thank you, Jenna + Alec! We wish we could celebrate your day over and over again. Congrats again, Mr. and Mrs.! -

The Barns of Kanak will always hold such a special place in our hearts. My husband Brandon and I recently got married here on 11/11/2023.
From the moment I toured The Barns with Diane I knew that this was the venue I wanted to get married at. The feeling you get while walking through the property is indescribable. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The Barns of Kanak is rustic elegant and offers so much from both indoor/outdoor ceremony spaces, full access to decor barn, and a coordinator starting from 60 days out.
When we met Delaney at our 60 day out meeting I instantly knew that we would be in excellent hands. She and I share the same Type A personality which was an immediate vibe and connection!
Her communication with us and our vendors really made the rest of the planning process leading up to the wedding so seamless.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Delaney, Hope, and the rest of the staff at BOK took such great care of us and our guests. We did not have to worry about a single thing, and they handled the entire day with such grace. Tom and Diane stopped by during our reception to congratulate us which was extremely special. The biggest compliment I received from our guests was that "it felt like one big family and it was evident how much they care." We decided on the overnight stay at the Farmhouse which was the best decision ever. It was decorated for us with champagne and rose petals. Diane even delivered breakfast the next morning for us to enjoy. I 100% recommend The Barns of Kanak to any bride and groom who is in search of their perfect wedding venue. Thank you to Diane + Tom, Delaney, and the rest of the BOK family! We are forever grateful! Cheers, The Grays!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Thank you so much, Stacie! It was truly an honor getting to celebrate with you two. Congratulations again! We adore y'all! -

BOK Wedding
Where do I even begin!? I cannot say enough great things about the Barns of Kanak and all the staff. From the moment we toured the venue with Kylie I knew this is where I wanted my now husband & I to get married. The venue is absolutely BREATHTAKING and checked off all the boxes of what I wanted in a venue. There is a bridal house, groom’s house, decor to pick from, and most importantly a beautiful property. Thankfully the weather on our wedding day was perfect, so we were able to get married outside of the red barn. However, just incase the weather wasn’t the best, there is a beautiful covered metal barn which is such a relief to have a plan B and alleviated a lot of stress. My husbands parents live out of state and we reached out to BOK when they were coming to visit asking if we could bring them to see the venue & without hesitation Diane said absolutely and scheduled time that weekend for us to come by! We had the pleasure of having Delaney as our coordinator & I cannot say enough great things about her! She was always on top of everything! She guided us through everything we needed to do for the wedding & was always available for any questions we had & quick to respond. She always had a smile on her face & never made us feel like we were being a bother. During our 60 day meeting, she walked us through our timeline and connected with each of our vendors, which allowed us to truly enjoy planning our wedding and not stress about connecting with our vendors about all the little details as our wedding approached. I can honestly say that on our wedding day my husband & I did not feel one ounce of stress. Delaney & the BOK staff handled absolutely everything & allowed us to be fully present with our friends & family at our wedding. I seriously could go on & on about the Barns of Kanak. We truly cannot thank Kylie, Diane, Delaney, and all the BOK staff enough!! The Barns of Kanak will always be such a special place for my husband & I!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Megan, thank you so much for these kind words! We are so glad you had an amazing experience from start to finish. This means more to us than you know! We are so happy for you and Dan. Congrats again to you both! xoxoxo -

I highly recommend The Barns of Kanak. We got married there May 2023 and our guests absolutely loved the look and feel of the entire venue. They have a selection of decor and signage that can be used for no additional cost, as well as offering a 60-day out coordinator to help with planning details. The staff were extremely polite and attentive throughout the day. Overall, a great experience for our wedding day. -

Delaney made our day go flawlessly. She took all stress away from us and handled everything without a hitch. The venue itself is breathtaking. There were no hidden fees or negative surprises. There were plenty of good surprises though!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Rachel, this made our day! Thank you so much for your kind words. Delaney had a blast working with you and watching your dream wedding come to life! xoxoxox -

Maddy T. Sent on 10/01/2022The best venue ever!
From the very beginning I knew we would choose this venue. Not only did I have a glowing review to go off of from a friend that got married there but from our very first email interaction with Kylie (she was reciprocating my email smiley faces and assuaging my nerves as a new bride planning a wedding) I could tell this venue really cares about people and want to help out any way they can. We toured many wedding venues but knew right after we met in person with Diane, Tom and Kylie that this was our dream venue. You feel like you are a part of the family when you talk to them. Delaney was our wedding coordinator leading up to the big day and then we got a surprise where Kylie came to help her out. These girls are literally SWEET BABY ANGELS!!! Not only did they answer any and every question I had (tons of emails from an anxious bride), they were always right there the day of to bustle my dress, pin my veil, making sure we always had a drink, dancing with us, making the most darling goody basket to take home at the end of the night and sooo many more things!!! My whole family commented on how doting and genuine the entire staff was. Everything went off without a hitch, on time and we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING because they were ON IT!! They really go above and beyond to make your day special. I could go on and on about how amazing these beautiful souls are. We could not have asked for a better experience all around. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Barns!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH Diane, Tom, Kylie, Delaney, Megan, Deshaun, Abby, and Ryan!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💓💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️ Love, The Pizanies :]The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Mr. and Mrs. Pizanie, this is the sweetest thing ever. Thank you SO much for letting us be part of your perfect wedding day! It was a blast, and we wish we could go back and relive it over and over. Congratulations again! We love y'all more! -

I don't even know where to begin with our experience at Barns of Kanak. First, the venue is gorgeous with its dreamy landscape and furnishings. They have a barn stocked full of trendy wedding décor, separate areas to get ready, tons of picture perfect locations, AND wedding coordinating options. However, the real gem at BOK is their OUTSTANDING staff. Delaney was a dream to work with in the year/months leading up to our wedding. She responded to all of my questions so quickly and with so much grace and sincerity. Going in to the process, I had very little vision of what I wanted my reception and ceremony to look like. Delaney took the time to talk it through and they somehow brought to life the most perfect day. The team did everything and anything to make sure the day went off without a hitch. Even our guests commented on the efficiency and attentiveness of the BOK crew. I didn’t even notice when we had to create an alternate plan due to high winds or that we had run out of cups for the bar. They took care of it all - every bride’s dream! I am so grateful we picked the Barns of Kanak for our venue. It is the perfect place to mark the beginning of the rest of our life together.The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Trici, thank you so much for taking the time to share this kind review! We still talk about how much we adore you two and we are so beyond happy for you. Congratulations again! -

Kasi C. Sent on 04/25/2022Venue who treats you like Family.
Where do I begin? I first found The Barns off of The Knot when looking for a venue. When emailing I found out there was going to be a vendor market so what better opportunity to go and check it out. To my surprise when arriving Kylie approached me and knew who I was, told me if I had any questions, to please let her know. She also offered me a tour if I wanted it. Keep in mind this was a market, 50+ guest were there, and she took the time out to find me and make me feel like home. From that day forward our experience just kept growing with love. I got the opportunity to work with Delaney and her team. She never once made me feel like I was asking too many questions. Come day of, I had no stress, I was relaxed and so ready for the day thanks to all of their preparation. 6 months prior My Dad fell ill to Liver Cancer and the day of the wedding he wasn't suppose to attend as he was still in ICU. Delaney approached me and told me not to worry, she wanted to offer me to come back at any time and take a photo shoot with Dad once he got better. However, my Dad passed shortly after getting married. The love, support, and thoughtfulness of this team continued to be there for my family and I as they sent me the most beautiful flowers as well as offering a memorial photo session. I will forever be grateful for everyone at this venue and they will always hold a special place in my heart.The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Thank you so much, Kasi! You and Dale will always hold a special place in our hearts, too. Congrats again! -

The Barns of Kanak is a fantastic place to work with. They make planning a wedding so much easier than having to do everything yourself. Delaney was in constant contact, always had her ducks in a row and kept me on track throughout the whole process. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me and my family. i would recommend this place over and over again!

Best venue ever!
If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue then look no farther! We could not have asked for a better experience even with delaying our wedding a whole year due to COVID. Every single member of the Barns team is exceptional! I do have to brag on Delaney just a bit who was our coordinator, her attention to detail is top notch and she kept me from worrying about anything! The grounds are absolutely beautiful as well! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding! Thank you so much to the Barns of Kanak team! -

Emily Sent on 05/24/2022A Dream Venue
To say that The Barns of Kanak is by far the most gorgeous wedding venue in Virginia is an understatement. My husband and I married at The Barns of Kanak in October 2021. From the moment that we stepped onto the property for our initial tour, we knew that The Barns was the perfect venue for us. We were welcomed by the most kind and welcoming staff that any bride could ever ask for. Their staff walked us through every detail leading up to the wedding day, as well as the wedding day itself. Their phenomenal coordination and advice went above and beyond what we could have ever expected in a venue’s team. It was pouring rain for most of our wedding day, which made the outdoor option impossible. However, one of the best features of The Barns of Kanak is that they not only offer an outdoor option in front of the Red Barn, but also an indoor option inside the metal barn. The Barns staff, especially Abby and Kylie, were extremely patient with me in making that tough decision to change to the metal barn the day of the wedding. They walked me through how it would change and even allowed me to view their setup before my groom arrived at the venue. Abby, Kylie, and all of The Barns staff made my dream wedding vision come true. It exceeded all of our expectations and more. The reception barn was absolutely stunning. It is perfect for a wedding theme of classic elegance, with the chandeliers, and a touch of rustic charm with the exposed wood beams. Words cannot express how thankful we are for The Barns of Kanak staff. Thank you for making our wedding day magical! To all those brides out there looking for a gorgeous venue, with the BEST staff, and a shed full of wedding décor that can be used on the wedding day, look no further than The Barns of Kanak in Prince George, Va. It is a place where dreams literally come true!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
I got chills reading this review, Emily! Congrats again to you and Jeremy! You two were so much fun to work with, and you made the most of the weather on your big day. It was absolutely beautiful - we wish we could relive it! Thanks again for entrusting us with your wedding day. We adore you both! -

The Barns of Kanak is an absolute dream wedding venue! Our guests raved all day about the beauty of the grounds and the kindness of the BOK team. Delaney helped plan every aspect of our big day and was incredible to work with. Her dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and guidance took the stress off of the planning process. Day of, Delaney and the BOK team were so kind and thoughtful with every step. They handled the chaos of our rowdy crowd with such grace which meant a LOT. Choosing The Barns, you are putting your wedding day in the very best of hands!The Barns of Kanak's reply:

From our first virtual chat all the way up to our (very delayed due to COVID - from April 2020 to Sept 2021) wedding day, the Barns of Kanak team was exceptional. My husband and I live in Chicago and were looking to get married in VA. We actually booked the venue after a FaceTime tour and were so excited to see it in person a few weeks later and we were SO happy with our choice. Truly this family and their full team go above and beyond to make you feel so special throughout the process. We worked with Kylie primarily and she was absolutely AMAZING. We also were able to work with Abby as an intern and no surprise she is now full-time on the team! It was such a relief that the barns had a decor barn and catalog of things we could use on our special day - arches, signs, chargers and so many more perfect details. The best part of the whole experience, aside from the perfect wedding day, was having the 60-day out and day-of coordination. The coordination was SO unique compared to other venues we looked at and was so so so helpful. I honestly could not recommend this venue more. It’s beautiful, so well maintained and they really put their heart and soul into this place and it shows. The packages are beyond reasonable for everything you get when you choose the barns. Diane, Kylie, Abby and Tom, THANK YOU for being a part of our perfect wedding day and making us feel like family in the process. (Photos: Melissa Desjardins Photography)The Barns of Kanak's reply:
KATIE! This review means everything to us. Thank you so much for letting us be part of your wedding. It was absolutely perfect, and although we wouldn't wish a postponement on anyone, we are so thankful for the extra time we got to spend with you and Chris as you planned this amazing day. We miss you guys and can't wait to come visit in Chicago soon! -

Our dream wedding
This is was the very first venue we had toured - I had several others lined up for the weeks following but we were sold right away. We had the pleasure of working with Delaney and from the very beginning she was absolutely amazing, the venue is breath taking and so organized. Delaney went above and beyond for us and exceeded our expectations! Any stress I had she made it all go away, she was there whenever we needed her and made the day of stress free! We could not have asked for a better venue and coordinator. Everyone working there is so professional and amazing. Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! You all were truly AMAZING! We love you guys!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Jessica, we are so glad to hear that you loved your experience with Delaney and The Barns! It was our greatest honor to be part of your best day, and we couldn't be happier for you and Tyler. Congratulations again to you both, and thank you for these kind words! -

If you have any uncertainties about whether the Barns of Kanak is the venue for you let me tell you that you don't need to look any further. My husband and I were looking for a venue that was versatile enough to handle a fusion Indian/American wedding and their team didn't blink an eye in accepting the challenge despite not hosting an Indian wedding before. They were excited to learn what was involved and always made us feel welcome, which was not the case at some of the other venues we considered. Our original wedding date was May 23, 2020. When the pandemic hit, their team was so accommodating and made the move to a different date (twice in our case) very easy and worry free. Kylie, Tom and Diane were all so lovely and friendly. They made the wedding planning process very special and stress free. Kylie went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch (except for us, of course) and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location or more wonderful people to help us make it through our crazy packed wedding schedule. You can't go wrong choosing the Barns of Kanak for your wedding day. They bring so many special touches to your day. Our experience with the Barns of Kanak team was phenomenal!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Thank you for taking the time to share this incredible story, Jordan and Ankit! We couldn't have imagined a more magical day for you two, and we miss you already! Thank you for trusting us with new traditions and culture - we can't wait to celebrate more weddings like this here in the future. Congratulations again! -

Lindsay P. Sent on 07/12/2021The BEST decision we made for our Wedding!
Having our wedding at the Barns of Kanak was the single greatest decision we made for our wedding. The grounds are absolutely stunning. Every time we were there the owners were working hard to keep everything looking incredibly beautiful. We wanted to do things differently from how The Barns usually does things – we didn’t want our ceremony in front of the barn, which is where virtually all the ceremonies are held, and we wanted to bring tons of florals/greenery into the barn which also hadn’t been done before. A lot of places have a rhythm of how they do things and don’t like to deviate since they have their way down to a science – that was not at all the case with the barns. Not only did they let us have our ceremony in an unconventional place and have our florist cover all the poles of the barn in greenery, they were SO excited about our ideas, which made us even more excited about our ideas! This venue provides so much more than a place to get married. The farmhouse to get ready in is incredibly spacious and beautiful. They also have a décor barn which is FULL of décor for you to use in your wedding that is all included! I am so bad at making decisions and weddings are FULL of decisions, having the décor barn was a godsend both in having way less decisions to make and for saving us money! I didn’t have to spend hours agonizing over which “Please sign our guestbook” sign to spend $40 on – the barns had a couple to choose from, making my decisions easier and it’s all included so I wasn’t stuck with a bunch of things I spent money on after the wedding. Saving the best for last, our coordinator Delaney was the single most incredible human we worked with during our wedding planning. She dealt with all the logistics, talked with all of our vendors beforehand so I wasn’t really involved in any of the logistical stuff – she did it all! And she of course has an incredible team, everyone we worked with at the barns was fabulous, but Delaney went above and beyond to make sure everything went according to plan and made our vision for our wedding come to life. We are beyond grateful for the entire Barns of Kanak team – you made our wedding special, stress-free, beautiful, and a day we will never forget!The Barns of Kanak's reply:
Thanks so much, Lindsay. We couldn't be happier for you and Mike! Congratulations again to you both, and thanks for letting us get creative with your unique vision. It was SO fun - we wish we could do it all over again!
